IT IS FINISHED - European tshirts!

Posted by Acid on Feb. 28, 2013, 9:42 p.m.

After the shipping costs, even after some donations from some friendly folk, I have $20 left over from the pool of money to give Juju and FSX for the international shirt shipping. I'm going to cover the cost with my own money for now, but it would be REALLY nice if I got some help/re-embursed. :D

OLD TEXT:

UPDATE: Shipping supplies came in. You guys can wash your own shirts. Shipping them out sometime Monday.

Just did the math based on the locations of everyone and the padding wasn't enough to make up for shipping costs because everybody has to live so goddamn far away from Ohio. Why don't you all just live in Ohio?! >:(

Anyway, I put the info for help up above.

I'm just going to ship out of pocket for now but I do need some help because it's going to cost a bit over a hundred bucks more than I expected to ship to you guys and FSX has already put in a crap ton of his own money.

Jujuedit:

I got a lovely letter from the Royal Mail telling me that I owe HM Revenues and Customs £42.10 for the right to import the European tshirts to the UK. Acid has very graciously sent me $65 over PayPal to help with the cost so y'all don't need to worry about the money. Since it's Easter in the UK, I won't actually get my hands on the tshirts until mid-next week (week starting 1st April). I'll start shipping as soon as I get my mitts on the goods. There aren't any tariffs for shipping within the EU (thank God) but there is postage. I'll let you lot know what the deal is there. I reckon 64UK users will get their tshirts in about 3 weeks, Europeans will probably have to wait a month-or-so.

I don't have a full estimate yet - I went to the post office and they told me they wouldn't give me an estimate until I brought in each package and had them individually weighed. :|

I had to go to the online website and the process to figure out how much it will cost is obnoxious. From the estimate, it looks like it will cost a little more than $100 more than I expected. I'm also not sure I put in the information correct for international shipping, so that might add a little bit more. I won't know for sure how much I'll have to fork over until I actually go to either the Post Office or UPS.

Also: I'm not trying to "get money out of you guys", if you want to wait until after I pay for shipping that is absolutely fine. And if I get more money that I paid for shipping, I'm giving it to Robbie. He put a stupid amount of money into both this website and these shirts.

USPS has an API for rating. I would have built a program to feed a flat file of addresses into the API, to get the rate. =P

"You guys can wash your own shirts"

Can you work on shipping mine to the closet so I can wear it tomorrow, thanks?

I'm done labeling and prewraping all of the shirts. Now it's time to package, address, and tomorrow they'll be shipped! :D

FSX is trying to get rid of me so you all don't find out how he made my cat into a ninja assassin whose only goal in life is to KILL ME AND DOMINATE OUR DOG.

I put them in plastic ziplocks before I put them in the bags to ship. :P

I already shipped Euro and Cana - pedians.

Shipping US tomorrow. There were a bunch of hoops to jump through to get a package shipped internationally. I REALLY hope they don't send back my packages over some dumb stuff. There was a bunch of literature on how to ship and what not to do and I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong.

Alright, yeah, I was going to mention that. I'm most likely heading back down to Columbus on Saturday so I'll definitely be around to receive it by the time it comes in.
